Abstract:
Well-being and eating behavior are intricately interconnected. A balanced and healthy diet can improve well-being by providing essential nutrients for physical and mental health. On the other hand, pathological eating behaviors can negatively affect well-being. In many individuals, eating behavior also has a strong emotional dimension, with eating being used as a coping mechanism rather than a source of nutrition and energy. Finally, healthy eating behavior can contribute to improved well being, while positive well-being can facilitate healthier food choices.
